INAUGURAL GRAFANA & FRIENDS LONDON MEETUP!

Hosted By
Grafana C.


DETAILS

🚀 Join us for the debut Grafana & Friends London Meetup at the Hylo Building,
hosted by Beamery! This inaugural event promises an evening of insightful
discussions, networking, and knowledge sharing within the Grafana community. Our
special guest and the host for the night is Tom Wilkie, Grafana's CTO.

***

IMPORTANT:
In order to access Beamery's office we need your email address to send you the
QR code. Sign up here.

Your details will be shared with our event sponsor, Beamery, for communication,
health & safety purposes relating to the event.
The email will NOT be shared with anyone else or used for sales purposes.

Agenda:

- Welcome and Opening Remarks by Tom Wilkie, Grafana CTO
Start the evening with a warm welcome to the Grafana & Friends community and
grab some pizza!

- Span Profiling with Grafana Pyroscope (Christian Simon, Grafana)
Profiling helps developers understand which part of their application (ideally
down to the function and line of code) is slowing it down. With that insight you
are able to effectively optimize your application.
In this talk I will show how using Grafana Pyroscope you can collect, aggregated
and visualize Profiles. We will also look at how combining distributed tracing
using Grafana Tempo, can help understanding resource consumption per request.
While there is a focus on the Go ecosystem, most of the content of the talk is
transferable to other languages.

- Taming the swarm of high-cardinality Istio metrics - using recording rules to
produce usable Istio metrics (Aaron Walker, Beamery)
Istio is a service mesh that adds security, observability and connectivity to
micro-service architectures. Istios sidecar-based approach means that a vast
amount of metrics data gets generated, which only increases as you scale both
the size and complexity of your systems.
In this talk, we'll discover the issues that Istio caused our self-hosted
monitoring stack and how we can solved them by re-evaluating the data that we
actually wanted. In addition, we'll explore how we manage our observability
systems at scale, allowing developers to manage their dashboards and alerts.

- DORA metrics on a shoestring (Gerald Schmidt, DS Smith)
There’s a lot of buzz around performance metrics right now, but the ones
measured most often are the DORA metrics: deployment frequency, lead time, mean
time to recovery and failure rate. The problem is that it can be expensive to
collect them and prepare them for presentation automatically. This talk is about
a lightweight and open source DORA metrics controller that works with any CI/CD
tool and requires only Kubernetes, Prometheus and Grafana to run.

- Networking and drinks
Connect with Grafana enthusiasts, exchange ideas, and build valuable
professional relationships

***

About the speakers:

- Christian Simon is a Software Engineer at Grafana Labs. He found his way into
the observability space by starting as a hobby Linux administrator as early as
Kernel v2.2 and when eventually Kubernetes required some detailed insights, he
gradually started to focus on observability data collection and storage. In his
Software Engineering role at Grafana Labs he works on the continuous profiling
database Grafana Pyroscope.

- Aaron Walker is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Beamery. He primarily
focuses on their custom observability stack - Beamery Observe - which provides
developers with a platform for visualising and alerting on observability data.

- Gerald Schmidt recently joined DS Smith as data platform engineering lead,
having led platform teams at Babylon Health and Go City. A little further back
in time, he was lead infrastructure consultant at Thoughtworks.
